Huawei and Chery’s new car has gone on sale in China. The Luxeed S7 is a sedan with up to 800 kilometers of autonomy (according to the Chinese homologation cycle) developed in collaboration with Chery Automobile, a Chinese company that has been operating since 1997.
An electric car that aims directly at the Tesla Model S and has one of the most spectacular autonomous parking technologies ever seen, for the moment in the testing phase.
Before talking about the car, it is worth explaining where Luxeed comes from. Huawei has been making inroads into the world of electric cars for some time now. Its success has been demonstrated in models such as the Avatr 12 or the Aito M5, vehicles that do not belong to the Huawei group, but which use HarmonyOS technology.

inside Huawei’s own stores. From this collaboration comes the Luxeed S7 (also known by its codename Luxeed EH3), a sedan with an eye on the Tesla Model S.

Sign the 0 to 100 km / h in 3.3 seconds, close to the 3.2 seconds that marks the Tesla Model S Long Range (the Plaid is another story).
But beyond power figures and the promised 800 kilometers under the CLTC cycle (too optimistic and far from the European WLTP), the important thing about this electric car is its technology.
